Do I have to comply with the FLSA?

The FLSA "covers" or applies to all employees of certain
"enterprises." All employees of an "enterprise" are covered regardless
of the duties they perform. If your company/organization does not meet one of the
following definitions of a covered enterprise, your employees may still be covered if
their own duties meet certain interstate commerce requirements. If your employees are
covered and not exempt, you must comply with the FLSA.

There are a large number of workers who are employees of enterprises so we will begin
by determining if your employees are covered on an enterprise basis.

Does your company/organization meet any of the following definitions of
enterprise?

A Federal, state, or local government agency

A hospital; or an institution primarily engaged in the care of the sick, the aged, or
the mentally ill or developmentally disabled who live on the premises; (it does not matter
if the hospital or institution is public or private or is operated for profit or
not-for-profit)

A pre-school; elementary or secondary school or institution of higher learning (e.g.,
college); or a school for mentally or physically handicapped or gifted children (it does
not matter if the school or institution is public or private or operated for profit or not
for profit)

A company/organization with annual dollar volume of sales or receipts in the amount of
$500,000 or more
